All About McCain

Just saw and interesting factoid and it hadn't occurred to me. This morning, John McCain brought to an end a very long streak in Republican presidential politics:

2004 - George W Bush/Dick Cheney
2000 - George W Bush/Dick Cheney
1996 - Bob Dole/Jack Kemp
1992 - George HW Bush/Dan Quayle
1988 - George HW Bush/Dan Quayle
1984 - Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush
1980 - Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush
1976 - Gerald Ford/Bob Dole

Thus ends the streak of 8 straight Republican tickets with a Bush or a Dole on them.
